CDC Administrative Fee: Promoting the Sharing of Best Practices in Tobacco Control through Programmatic Support to the World Conference on Tobacco or Health (WCTOH) Convenings in 2021 and 2022

这份多年期协议描述了美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）和美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）之间的一项协议，为2021年世界烟草或健康大会（WCTOH）虚拟峰会和2022年第18届WCTOH（在文件中统称为WCTOH）秘书处的工作提供资金。目前的秘书处是国际防治结核病和肺病联合会（联合会）。世界烟草控制大会是全球领先的活动，旨在分享来自100多个国家的烟草控制最佳实践。其目的是激励两项活动中预计的2，500名代表将最新研究转化为政策变革的行动。WCTOH会议通常每三年在不同的全球地区举行一次，在爱尔兰卫生部成功申办之后，该会议将于2022年3月在爱尔兰（都柏林）举行。由于COVID-19大流行，本次会议的时间被推迟，并决定增加2021年虚拟峰会，作为维持自2018年上次会议以来取得的进展的额外元素，并在即将举行的WCTOH之前提供额外的科学内容。 世界烟草控制大会的目标是汇集来自世界各地的科学家、研究人员、学者、专家和领导人，分享他们在烟草控制各个方面的经验和研究成果。它还将为政策制定者、研究人员、从业人员和教育工作者提供一个跨学科平台，介绍和讨论最新的健康数据趋势、创新和新出现的问题，以及提高烟草控制优先地位和打击烟草业干预健康和经济政策的挑战和解决方案。 根据本协议提供的多年资金（FY 20/FY 21）将有助于分别于2021年5月和2022年3月举行的WCTOH会议集体活动的规划工作。这些资金将用于以下任务：召集当地主办委员会与秘书处规划人员;开发科学内容和材料;托管会议网站和2021年虚拟会议平台;促进中低收入国家参与这两项活动，评估会议;以及传播会议的关键科学亮点。 美国疾病预防控制中心（CDC）吸烟与健康办公室（奥什）的使命是制定、实施和支持保护公众健康免受烟草使用有害影响的战略努力。因此，奥什与全球烟草控制分支处（GTCB）有许多见解和经验可以分享，以提高全球烟草控制能力。在加强烟草控制方面的一个主要贡献是全球烟草监测系统，该系统是系统监测成人和青年烟草使用情况的全球标准，并使用各国一致的标准协议跟踪关键的烟草控制指标。这些数据有助于各国跟踪《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》（FCTC）的实施情况和世卫组织MPOWER一揽子计划的技术组成部分，并提高国家一级设计、实施和评估烟草控制计划的能力。在世界反吸烟大会的两个部分期间，赞助各种虚拟和面对面的专题讨论会、课程和讲习班，将使奥什和全球技术能力建设机构能够分享从全球技术支持系统各方面以及其他奥什活动中吸取的经验教训，如强有力的媒体宣传、估计中低收入国家吸烟所致死亡率的方法、如何将数据转化为政策行动、以及你需要知道的关于电子尼古丁输送系统的新前沿。

This multi-year agreement describes an agreement between the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide funds to support the work of the Secretariat for the 2021 World Conference on Tobacco or Health (WCTOH) Virtual Summit and the 18th WCTOH in 2022 (collectively referred to in the document as the WCTOH). The Secretariat is currently the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union). The WCTOH is the leading global event for sharing best practices in tobacco control from more than 100 countries. Its purpose is to inspire an expected 2,500 delegates across the two events into transforming latest research into actions for policy change. The WCTOH conference usually takes place every three years in a different global region and following a successful bid by the Irish Department of Health, the conference will be held for the first time in its history in Ireland (Dublin) in March 2022. The timing of this conference is delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a decision was made to add a 2021 Virtual Summit as an added element to sustain progress made since the last conference in 2018, and to offer additional scientific content in advance of the upcoming WCTOH. The objective of the WCTOH is to bring together scientists, researchers, scholars, experts and leaders from all over the world to share their experiences and research results on all aspects of tobacco control. It also will provide an interdisciplinary platform for policy makers, researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent health data trends, innovations and emerging concerns as well as challenges and solutions for increasing priority for tobacco control and countering industry interference in health and economic policies. The provision of multi-year funds (FY20/FY21) under this agreement is to contribute to the planning efforts for the collective events of the WCTOH conference, which will occur in May 2021 and March 2022, respectively. The funds are to cover such tasks as convening the local host committee with Secretariat planners; development of scientific content and materials; hosting of the conference website and 2021 virtual meeting platform; facilitating participation by low- and middle-income countries in both events, evaluation of the conference; and, dissemination of key scientific highlights from the conference. The mission of the Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) at the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) is to develop, conduct, and support strategic efforts to protect the public’s health from the harmful effects of tobacco use. As such, OSH and the Global Tobacco Control Branch (GTCB) have many insights and experiences which can be shared to enhance global tobacco control capacity. A major contribution in enhancing tobacco control is the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS), which is the global standard to systematically monitor adult and youth tobacco use and track key tobacco control indicators using a consistent and standard protocol across countries. The data assists countries to track World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) implementation and technical components of the WHO MPOWER package, and to enhance country-level capacity to design, implement and evaluate tobacco control programs. Sponsoring various virtual and in-person symposia, courses, and workshops during both elements of the WCTOH will allow OSH and GTCB to share lessons learned from various aspects of GTSS, as well as other OSH activities, such as hard-hitting media campaigns, methods for estimating smoking-attributable mortality in low- and middle-income countries, how to translate data to policy action, and what you need to know about the new frontier of electronic nicotine delivery systems.
